In the module Health Management, we provide general guidance in “Explain key factors in health including nutrition, exercise, and sleep”.

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part of being physically active. The important thing is to find activities you like to do, so you’ll stick with them. In order to help you understand how much activity you need to do on a regular basis, your task is to create a sensible routine.

Directions

Step 1: List three physical activities that you enjoy doing or would like to try.

Step 2: Using the template “Mod10 WO Schedule” Google doc provided by your instructor, create a plan that will help you feel the benefits of regular exercise. You should participate in a physical activity for 45 minutes at least every other day. You can make a digital version of the schedule or make one using pencil and paper.

Step 3: Track your progress for one week, recording the amount of time you actually exercised. If you engaged in any unplanned physical activities, say you ended up riding your bike to school instead of taking the bus, include those too. Also jot down any observations or ideas you may have as a result of adding more regular exercise into your schedule.

Step 4: Submit your work as instructed by your professor. You may end up discussing the results of this assignment with your classmates, writing an additional section about your exercise schedule and experience, or reflecting on the effects of a full week of routine exercise.
